Default Avengers Blu-ray

Just got my copy. I thought the film was ok. For me it was a little bit of, "I have seen all this before".

I have only one word for the sound and picture quality of the Blu-ray... EXCELLENT! I put it in the top 2 I have seen.

Interesting. It will not be released in the US until September 25th. Would they release it in Austrailia a month earlier? Are you sure you got a ligit copy?

Thanks for the clarification Face. They seem to be getting a hefty price for it also.

Target is the cheapest. $24 for 2D, $34 for 3D version (JB Hi Fi $40).

---Here in Canada, 'The Avengers 3D' BD costs $40 Cdn. Add 12% GST tax on top of that and you are at $45!
And it will be that same price in all of our major stores as well (Walmart, Future Shop, Best buy, HMV, etc.)

...And I'm talkin' September 25 here.

Here => http://www.amazon.ca/Marvels-Avenger.../dp/B001KVZ6HK

...Forty five bucks (Canadian Loonies) for a single movie!!!
{Much cheaper to go to the IMAX Theater; even with the popcorn, licorice, caramel bar, M&M, and beverages.}
